Lead with your brain
It’s Friday, let’s keep it short.
Knowing that, as Dr. Henry Cloud explains in Boundaries for Leaders, people and teams will excel when we communicate in ways that align with the human brain’s executive functioning, here are three questions you can ask every day, to ensure you’re leading with your brain.
What are the ways I am ensuring that my team is attending to what’s important?
What are the ways that I am removing distractions, including toxic elements, that inhibit brain function?
What are the ways that I keep what is important alive and constantly remembered?
If you help people (and yourself) attend, inhibit, and remember, other brain functions will follow as well.
Have a good weekend!
